The murder trial for Bristol, Virginia police officer Johnathan Brown is entering its final phase as the defense rested Wednesday. Brown is accused of murdering Jonathen Kohler in a March 2021 shooting at the Roadway Inn in Bristol, Virginia. According to various news outlets the defense chose not to have Brown take the stand. Brown’s attorneys said while they had originally planned to have him testify, they felt that the jury had sufficient information and any additional testimony would only be “cumulative.”
